Vitamin C is one of the most popular and widely consumed nutrients across the world. For immunity boosters to animal feed, it’s everywhere. But here’s something most people don’t realize:

Most of the vitamin C we consume is synthetic

Made in labs from corn syrup or genetically modified glucose, synthetic vitamin C(ascorbic acid) is cheap, available in bulk and widely used in supplements and processed foods. But research is now showing us that natural sources of vitamin C, especially from herbs like Amla (Indian gooseberry) is more effective and beneficial.

Understand the Difference Between Synthetic and Natural Vitamin C

• Synthetic Vitamin C is chemically pure ascorbic acid, created through industrial processes.
• Natural Vitamin C is ascorbic acid plus a complex of bioflavonoids, polyphenols, enzymes and trace minerals  naturally found in plant sources.

Althoughthe molecular structure of ascorbic acid is the same in both forms, natural vitamin C is better absorbed, retained longer in the body, and supported byplant compounds that enhance its function.
